for all those passionate throes until now, left unsung, about music

Siren Song. Siren vs. Song

The goosebumps rose on my flesh. It was the glorious “centerpiece” of U.S. Royalty’s “Equestrian” blaring for the second time in my Toyota as I sailed to work on this hot July afternoon. It’s the part where you find yourself almost shouting, “I come down from the mountain! I come down from the moun-t-aaaain! Oooh, ooh, ooooooh.” It was then that I realized, being a normal non-music-blarer, that I wouldn’t, in fact, hear a siren wailing anywhere near me over the heavy guitar and vocals.

“Oh well,” I thought. “I’ll turn it down after this is over.” I hit “RANDOM” and the song happened to play again. “Just one more time…” I thought before shout-singing along with the vocals that cause semi-permanent gooseflesh.
